Some ideas are so deep-rooted in our minds that we don’t even think twice or consider alternatives for them. For instance, when furnishing a living room, it’s a given to have a coffee table somewhere at the center of the whole setting. But what if you were to rethink this idea and choose instead of give up the table altogether and to fill the space with something else or to have two or more coffee tables instead of just one?

It definitely seems like this loveseat is missing something. It has an elegant wingback design and a comfortable seat but no armrests. By getting rid of this feature, the designers made the loveseat look more lightweight and less bulky without compromising on comfort or actually giving it a sleek structure. It’s a pretty clever design choice which is also featured by other furniture pieces.

If you’re not ready to commit to a solid room divider designed to stay in place for a very long time or until you decide to renovate, the alternative would be a modular and mobile divider such as the Build system. These modules are sold individually and have quirky geometric shapes. They can be combined in lots of different ways and they can be organized in a lot of funky ways. Use them to build walls that divide your space or use them as standalone pieces. If you’re not happy with the design you can reconfigure it in a few minutes.
